PressCast 3 and 5: High-Volume, Versatile Casting Systems for Professional Jewelers
The PressCast 3 and 5 are designed to meet the high demands of large-scale jewelry manufacturers. These pressure-over vacuum casting systems are versatile and capable of producing exceptional quality castings, including “stone-in-place” techniques for all low melting point metals and alloys such as gold, silver, brass, and more.
Optimal Performance with High Casting Pressure
Achieve flawless results with a high casting pressure of up to 6 bar. This ensures the perfect filling of the finest details, making it ideal for intricate designs. The integrated thermocouple probe and temperature controller guarantee consistent casting quality and repeatability, every time.
Advanced Induction Heating Technology
Leverage the power of our advanced induction heating technology for fast and efficient melting. This system offers excellent mixing of molten metal through low frequency (6kHz) electromagnetic pulsing, enhancing the integrity and quality of your final product.
